BTW, would you be interested in attended a Weight Loss Surgery support group in Uniontown? I go to one that meets 1 time per month...usually the 1st Monday of the month. It's a good support system, both before and afterwards. If you're interested, let me know and I'll get the info about the meeting to you.

Hi Tkyle55. Sorry I didn't respond sooner...I haven't been on TT for a few days. I guess you've already been to your seminar by now, and you've probably realized that Dr. Eid does NOT like the lap band too well. (Did Dr. Eid host your seminar?) That's the vibe that I got from him anyway. During my seminar, he spent 85% of the time speaking about RNY and very little time speaking about lap band. From what I know, he rarely recommends the lap band, due to the slow rate of lost and the complications from the band itself. Hope everything is going well for you.

Hi Sherry,
I live in Perryopolis and am thinking of having the lapband done. I am considering Dr. Eid and will go to my first seminar this Wed night. Nov 4. I guess from there I will make a decision to go forward. Lot's of questions. Any insight you may be able to give me?
